The bears were located in Sullivan County on Wednesday, April 15, in Rock Hill, said officials with the state Department of Environmental Conservation.

DEC Officers Glen Parker and Ricky Wood responded and found two yearling black bears stuck inside a shed.

The bears had knocked over a number of items inside the shed and were trapped inside.

With assistance from two New York State troopers, the officers were able to open the shed doors just wide enough for the bears to escape back into the nearby forest.
